NECK-WEAR TIP.

EPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,905, dated September 22,1885.

Application filed December 6, 1894. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J. MURRAY GUILBERT,

a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck-Vear Tips, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in Which Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a neck-wear tip embodying my invention, the same being shown in position. Fig. 2 represents a transverse section thereof in line as m, Fig. 1, enlarged. Fig. Srepresents a longii5 tudinal section thereof in line 3 y, Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 represents a side elevation of the tip detached. Figs. 5 and 6 represent side elevations of modifications.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

My invention consists of a neck-wear tip constructed in skeleton form, whereby the same is light, strong, durable, and stiff, and,

enables the pin to be used almost to the point of the tip, thus admitting of ashorter strap band, and consequently cheapening the production.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a tip for an article of neck-wear, the same being attached to the neck hand of a scarf, (shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1,) and formed of a piece of channeled sheet metal properly bent into shape. The end ofthe lining of the neckband is fitted between the limbs of the tip and in- 5 serted in the channels thereof, and the parts of each limb and the bend are then compressed or clinched on the portion of the fabric of the lining within the channels, thus securely connecting the tip with the lining.

It will be seen that the tip, owing to its channeled or crimped nature, is strong and durable, and being of skeleton form is very light.

It is evident that the limbs of the tip may extend diagonally or parallel; but a diagonal shape is preferred, as it provides somewhat ofa point at the front end, admitting of the ready introduction of the tip into the scarf.

If desired, the tip may be secured to the end of the neckband instead of being inclosed within the same and attached to the lining thereof; but I do not limit myself to either location of the tip.

The channel of the tip may be of any angular or rounded shape in cross-section. In Fig. 5 the tip is shown having connected with it two pieces of fabric for attachment of the end of the neckband-lining.

In Fig. (5 a single piece of material is fitted in the channels of the tip, and the outer end thereof is adapted to be attached to the neckband or lining thereof.

As hereinbet'ore stated, the tip is made of sheet metal; hence, being flexible, it may be compressed, and thus yield as it is pushed through the opening of the neck, thus easing such operation, and as the channeled limbs may be clinched 0n the neckband or the neckband-lining no other fastenings are required, and the tip, when fitted in the end of a neck- 0 band, is not liable to shift or cut through the fabric thereof, as the channel of the tip is on the inner face of the tip.

I am aware that it is not new to construct a skeleton tip of sheet metal, and such I do not broadly claim.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A neck-wear tip constructed of a bent piece of metal, forming flexible limbs having channels on their inner faces, whereby the neckband or the lining thereof may beclinched by the walls of the channels, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
